About Zaid

Zaid Kazi is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and addiction. He offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk at their own pace and work through difficult moments. Sessions are aimed at helping people find clearer ways to cope with everyday pressures and major life changes.

He uses a person-centred approach that focuses on the client's experience and strengths. That means listening closely and following the client's lead, while offering reflections that help make things clearer. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small, practical changes.

Mindfulness techniques are included to help with anxiety, sleep and emotional regulation by building simple habits of noticing and breathing. For people affected by past harm, his trauma-focused work aims to stabilise symptoms and create a safer place to process memories at a sustainable pace.

Zaid has five years of experience working with a range of concerns including relationship difficulties, grief, parenting strain, ADHD-related challenges, eating and body image issues, and work-related stress. He speaks English, Hindi and Urdu, and works from the United Kingdom.

He invites people who feel stuck or overwhelmed to take a small next step. The first sessions focus on building trust, identifying priorities and choosing a practical plan that suits each person's life and goals.

How Zaid blends talking therapy with practical online work

Online sessions can use elements of person-centred counselling to build trust and follow the client's priorities. This approach focuses on listening, reflection and helping the client name what matters most before moving on to change work.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments. It often helps with anxiety, stress, sleep problems and mood by breaking problems into small, manageable steps.

Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing skills that reduce reactivity and improve emotional balance. These tools can be combined with other approaches to support day-to-day coping and reduce overwhelm.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, values and needs, and will adapt methods as progress is made.

The exact online session formats are not specified here, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from quieter surroundings that suit them.
